The whole interlinear chapter
1 Tim. 5:25      1 Tim. 6:2

First letter to Timothy 6:1

[Paul has given instructions to various groups in the church, see chapter 5. The last group is slaves. Roman society was dependent on slaves. In the early days, about ninety percent of the population were slaves. Even though slavery had declined, about half of the Roman population were slaves when Paul wrote this letter. The slaves who worked in mines and fields often had a very difficult life, while those who served in homes could have a more tolerable life. Some of these slaves were well educated and served as scribes and doctors. Paul had previously written that in Jesus, no one is a slave or free anymore, see Col. 3:11. What did that statement mean in a church that was growing and consisted of both slaves and slave owners?]
All who bear the yoke of slavery should consider their rulers (Gk. despotes) worthy of all respect, so that the name and teaching of God may not be blasphemed.
